It’s a great show this week (unlike all those OTHER shows every other week) as Rob, Ryan and Steve welcome David Dame, Director of Accessibility at Microsoft Canada to the podcast. They discuss what’s new over at Microsoft Accessibility and what kinds of initiatives are in the works in order to help improve digital accessibility and inclusion. They may even entertain a few theories on what may have happened to everyone’s favorite paper clip …. #WheresClippy
